Issues with screen protectors on iPhone SE 2020

    Has anybody had issues with screen protectors peeling on the new SE?
    I've had the Belkin one peel off around the edges, I then bought a €10 one that has chipped around the edges where the protector is peeling.

    It seems the screen is curved at the edge of the protector, so a flat protector just won't work. is that anyone elses experience?

    For my 3rd one in less than a week, I've ordered this

    Hopefully it's better.

    I'm annoyed that an Apple reseller (Compu-B) specifically recommended the €25 Belkin one and showed me an older model phone with it on, so beware!

    For the brief time I had my SE, used cheap couple of euro ones from an iPhone 6/7 and they were perfect. Used with a case too. Also picked up a similar one to your link there but in white and it was fine. Are you using a case with it? Could be the issue if the specific case is lifting the protector maybe? I had a couple of different ones that were all fine - Spigen and Ringke.

    The issue apparently is that the edge of the SE is slightly curved so the older covers don’t fit 100%

    I got my delivery over the weekend and am happy to say it fits perfectly with the Apple leather case. Doesn’t look like there’s a screen protector on it.

    It’s wider and taller than the usual protectors and has a black edge. It may well have a gap under the black but I can’t see it. It’s sold as being 3D shape anyway.
